jhenley17 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Does anyone know if any other model throttle tubes are compatible? Looking for something a little quicker than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted June 18, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 18, 2017 Have you checked part numbers with other vfrs and see if they can be swapped from other bikes in order to get the desired result. Alternately take a bigger handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Well, I was hoping to be able to go from closed to WOT comfortably without adjusting my grip so that I could more easily get a bigger handful. I haven't compared part numbers, yet, I figured I'd see if the ground work had been done before I start that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rectaltronics Posted June 19, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2017 Given the 8th gen's tendency to be twitchy at low throttle settings, I'd probably set my sites on a progressive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted June 19, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well it appears that the throttle tube comes with the grip. Different part numbers for the US models. More of a choice on the std bike but sadly no vfr in list can't see many NC or CB owners wanting a qot. Alternately you could just just buy one and try , I'm sure they are only a few dollars from eBay. Or adjust your grip prior to opening. If you've never tried one they take a bit of getting used to on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Progressive would be preferred, but I'll take what I can get.I might try a few and see what happens. I'll probably compare pictures and see if anything even looks possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsparky Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I bought a Motion pro throttle, and made it work. Had to cut the end off, and added jb weld to get the progressive diameter ramp that I wanted... Keep the calipers handy.

DriverDave Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Check out the G2 Throttle Tamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsparky Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 jb weld popped off. redid it for now. but also ordered the G2 competition quick turn throttle, for the cb1000. oem throttle tubes are the same part number on bikebandit, so it should work. i plan to machine a little progressive cam action into it, when i get it. that'll last longer than the jb weld lol. will update later if it works.
